Where Can I Buy A Royal Mail Post Box

[FN-GM]

Good Morning,

 

This is a bit of a long shot, but is anyone on here selling an old British post box? If not, can you recommended somewhere (maybe a reclamation yard, antique shop etc) that sells them please?

 

I am looking for a lamp box like the picture attached. Royal Mail used to sell decommissioned boxes but has since stopped doing this. I am wanting to use it for my letter box here in Australia, shipping directly to Australia isn't necessary as I can forward via family in the UK.

 

I can buy replicas on Amazon and eBay in Australia. But I would rather have an original if possible.

 

Thank You

This site has them:

They are pretty costly:

Shipping a cast iron post box to Aus is also gonna be bloomin expesnive.

I wasn't sure if the OP meant he could get it to Australia another way, but actually now I can't think how... carry on luggage? 😂

 

That will be an interesting conversation at customs going through the X-Ray...

Thanks, but all these are replicas. I can buy a replica in Australia. Ideally, I am after an original.

From what I have read online they are around 10KG, so hopefully not too expensive.
